If you're somebody who relies on their enclosed cargo trailer for hauling work equipment, you already know how important it is to have the right features and hookups. If you're considering purchasing your own enclosed trailer to use for work, you'll be glad to know that TrailerShowroom.com offers a wide selection of high-quality, custom-built trailers, perfect for contractors, house painters, or other workers who need to haul equipment to their various jobs. Here are a few ways you can customize your Trailer Showroom trailer to suit your work needs:

1. Convert your trailer to your own mini-workshop, complete with shelving, cabinets, electric hookups, a work bench and whatever other features you may need. With many of the TrailerShowroom.com enclosed trailers, you can add the Electrical Package with Breaker Panel, which would really come in handy when using electric power tools.

Here's a great example we found of using an enclosed trailer as a small workshop
This would be perfect for those who have a side business in on-site carpentry, or for hobbyists who don't have the garage space to set up a work area. What's great about creating a workshop in your enclosed trailer is that you can bring your workshop with you wherever you go!

2. Add reinforced features to keep your trailer in good shape, even after years of use. Using your trailer for work purposes will likely expose it to more wear and tear, so adding a reinforced heavy duty door, upgraded floors or aluminum frame will ensure that your trailer will stand the test of time. At TrailerShowroom.com, you can choose from a long list of accessory upgrades and even choose aluminum features for added durability. Here are a few examples of some popular Trailer Showroom enclosed trailer upgrades:

3. Customize the trailer's exterior to reflect your business' logo or colors. The standard trailer color at TrailerShowroom.com is solid white; however, we offer a selection of other colors to choose from. With some trailer models, you can even select more than one color and choose either a horizontal strip pattern or slanted separator pattern. While TrailerShowroom.com doesn't do graphics, we can help you decide on a color combination that will complement your business's calling card.

For more ideas on how to outfit your trailer into the perfect work trailer, browse our selection on www.TrailerShowroom.com or give us a call at 1-877-45TRAILER (1-877-458-7245).

Toy haulers are great for transporting ATVs, motorcycles, race cars and other fun vehicles, but often, what these haulers offer in cargo transporting efficiency, they lack in amenities.

For those of you who own a "toy" vehicle and are looking for something a little different when it comes to transporting it, a customized Work and Play Toy Hauler may be the ideal answer.

Some of our customers opt for the 8.5 X 20 enclosed trailer and choose the options and amenities that allow them to purpose it as a Work and Play trailer. Others decide on one of our Living Quarters Packages from our Elkhart, IN enclosed trailer facility.

By customizing a typical car hauler trailer from TrailerShowroom.com, you can combine elements of functionality as well as recreation. For instance, our Motorcycle Package with Deluxe Bathroom & Shower has several great cargo features, including an electric tongue jack and aluminum wheel chocks, but it also features a living quarters area, complete with two folding beds, a removable table, double sink, pantry, cabinets and more. This is a great option for anyone who needs to take their bike on a long haul.

The 14 Foot Living Quarters Package for Ball Hitch Models is one of our popular choices for larger Work and Play trailers. It features a 27" x 27" shower stall with one-piece tub surround, a 4 cubic foot refrigerator, 25,000 ducted furnace, 13,500 BTU air conditioner, windows with screens, drapes and mini-blinds, a dinette that converts into a bed, smoke detector, fire extinguisher, water heater bypass for winterizing and even an AM/FM/CD/Cassette stereo with 4 speakers! Why spend the money in a high-priced hotel when you're on the road, when you can stay in your own little efficiency? This is a great option for people who are on the road transporting ATVs, motorcycles, vehicles, or cargo and who will need to set up a living space in a remote location.

TrailerShowroom.com is proud to offer several manufacturing and pick up locations for our quality, custom-built enclosed cargo trailers. Two of our facilities, both of which stay busy consistently, are located in the Lone Star State of Texas.

Our McGregor, TX facility is one of the most popular ordering and pick up sites, as it is our lowest priced Texas facility. We offer an extensive selection of high-quality, reasonably priced enclosed cargo trailers from our McGregor facility, including 8.5' car haulers, concession trailers and even the more compact 5' and 6' enclosed trailers. In addition to these products, we also offer numerous options for accessories, upgrades and add-ons - all offered at very competitive prices.

McGregor, TX is situated about 17 miles southwest of Waco and is about a two and a half hour drive from Dallas. Because of its fairly central location, this would be an ideal ordering and pick up location for anyone in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas or Louisiana.

Our facility in Waco also offers an extensive variety of enclosed cargo trailers at highly competitive prices. The main difference you'll find between the McGregor facility and this one is that the prices are slightly higher when ordering from the Waco facility. While McGregor is our lowest priced TX facility, Waco is a more convenient location for many of our clients. Only about an hour and a half's drive from Dallas, Waco is a popular location for those who want to save a little extra driving time during their pick up.

And, like the McGregor facility, the Waco facility is centrally located in the southern part of the United States. Oklahoma City, OK; Little Rock, AR and Jackson, MS are all less than an eight-hour drive from Waco.

We also have an enclosed trailer facility in Douglas, GA; Elkhart, IN and Independence, OR - so depending on where you reside, one location may be more convenient than the others. Keep in mind that when you order from one location, you will not be able to pick up your trailer from a different location. Also, for the convenience of our clients, we do offer shipping/delivery options, but most of our clients find it is more economical to drive to the facility and pick up their trailer in person.

For more information on our Texas manufacturing facilities, or to learn more about our products, feel free to give us a call at 1-877-45TRAILER (1-877-458-7245).

If you've been searching for a high-quality cargo trailer or enclosed car hauler that's sturdy, can handle the demands of the road and is still lightweight enough to provide a smooth ride and improve fuel efficiency, then a Renegade All Aluminum Trailer from TrailerShowroom.com could be just what you need.

While all aluminum trailers are more expensive than your typical cargo trailer, most of our clients find the added expense to be well worth it in the long run. This is mainly due to the superior quality and fuel efficiency that goes hand-in-hand with aluminum-constructed trailers.

Because all aluminum trailers are just that - made completely with aluminum - they offer unique benefits not found in steel frame trailers. Durability is a major concern for most trailer owners. As cargo trailers are so often exposed to the elements, whether on the road or parked, it's easy to see why the all aluminum variety is so popular. Because aluminum is not prone to rust and corrosion, aluminum trailers tend to hold up well for a longer period of time. Steel frame trailers can sometimes be more vulnerable to these problems.

In addition to their durability, aluminum cargo trailers also provide a much more Efficient Fuel Economy. Because aluminum is lighter in weight than steel frame trailers, they are easier to tow and typically give your vehicle more miles to the gallon than a heavier, steel frame trailer would.

Our Renegade series offers all of the durability and fuel efficiency that any aluminum trailer would, plus a large variety of great standard features. Each trailer is also customizable, which means our clients are free to choose any upgrades or special add-ons from our aluminum trailer options list. Best of all - our durable aluminum trailers are built right here in the U.S.A., which means that when you buy from TrailerShowroom.com, you're contributing to the American economy and helping keep highly-skilled technicians at work.

Each of our enclosed aluminum cargo trailers are built at our Elkhart, Indiana facility. Most of our clients find it is more economical to pick up their trailer in-person once it's ready; however, TrailerShowroom.com can arrange for delivery from a third party shipping company. For details, visit our Buying page and scroll down to "Trailer Pick Up/Shipping Options."

For more information on our Renegade All Aluminum Trailers, feel free to browse our selection of products or give us a call at 1-877-45TRAILER (1-877-458-7245) to learn more.

Looking for a more affordable option on all aluminum cargo trailers? TrailerShowroom.com also has an economy series (Lightning Series) of aluminum trailers that are just as durable as the Renegades, but are more budget-friendly.
